Inside the case file
Trapped in an old factory with five flawed experiments to fix — this Fair Test & Experimental Design Digital Escape Room turns scientific-method practice into a race against the clock. Students analyze investigations, spot unfair variables, and use each answer to crack a code and break out of the factory.
It's fully interactive and self-checking, so a wrong answer never opens the lock — engagement up, grading down. Built for Grades 6–9 science and ready to play in any browser.

The mission
Students are trapped in an old factory and must visit five locations to escape. At each one, they answer scenario-based questions about good experimental design — identifying variables, spotting unfair tests, and reasoning through error analysis. Solve all 25 challenges, earn the codes, and break free from the factory before time runs out.
